What to Wear: Printed Trousers

When it comes to creating an outfit, pants tend to be the one neutral item that ties the pieces all together. We buy blue jeans and black trousers in bulk knowing they will go with anything on top. But it's time to get out of your rut by shaking things up and building your ensemble from the bottom up.

Printed pants may sway shoppers in the other direction because they seem like a challenge to match with at first, but allow us to convince you they go with just as much as plain ones. They work both in and out of an office setting—just pick a simple print, neutral color, and tapered fit. As proof, we took a pair of Mango printed tuxedo-stripe trousers and styled them three different ways to show you just how versatile they can be.
